Braxton Berrios has sly response to Alix Earle split with ‘DWTS’ fans calling him out
Braxton Berrios has entered the chat.
The Houston Texans return specialist had a sly response after the news broke of his split with Alix Earle last weekend.
“What did I miss?” Berrios, 30, captioned an Instagram post Thursday, including photos of himself.
“Is this shady Braxton I hope not,” one fan wrote in the comments, to which he replied it “was absolutely not supposed to be.”
Berrios pinned a fan comment that read, “People don’t get your caption referring to the Drake song 🔥.”

Berrios also defended missing “Dancing With The Stars” shows to support Earle in the comments, saying, “Sadly I wasn’t able to travel like that in-season.”
Earle and her dance partner Valentin “Val” Chmerkovskiy finished in second place in the show’s finale on Nov. 25.

The All-Pro NFLer and the “Dancing With The Stars” alum reportedly called it quits after two years of dating.
The couple, whose relationship was mostly long distance, reportedly mutually went their separate ways.
Earle was partying in Miami at Art Basel when the breakup news broke.
“Can’t a girl just go dancing,” the New Jersey native wrote on Instagram, including snapshots of her at various events that weekend.

Earle also shut down rumors that Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart slid in her DMs in wake of the news.
Dart has recently been linked to model and ring card girl Marissa Ayers, who was spotted on the sideline with his parents in Foxborough, Mass., during the Giants’ 33-15 loss to the Patriots on “Monday Night Football” on Dec. 1.
Earlier this week, Earle suggested that she might be “going thru it” in a post on TikTok.

Although she didn’t reference her breakup, fans believe she was hinting at it.
“Is my frontal lobe developing bc im about to turn 25 [on Dec. 16] and usually I stress about having the biggest party but all i want to do it workout, meditate, play card games & have good convos w the ppl closest to me,” Earle wrote.
“Either I’m maturing or just rlly going thru it.. maybe both.”
Earle and Berrios went public with their relationship at the 2023 ESPY Awards in June following his split from model Sophia Culpo.
